I've started refering to the Prawn as "she" now, but am still (with difficulty) holding off on buying frilly things.)<BR/><BR/>Island Baby- I haven't really SEEN the Prawn move yet, unfortunately. I actually had somewhat of a belly BEFORE I got pregnant, so it might be a few more weeks before I can see little feet poking me!<BR/><BR/>Our local hospital is one of the few in the area that WILL tell you the sex. The nurse told me most places won't due to a large and traditional Indian/Pakistani population in the area who are very particular about genders and might be tempted to abort a female fetus.rockmamahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11069747273698110082noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-27522774.post-1160909858699403362006-10-15T10:57:00.000+00:002006-10-15T10:57:00.000+00:00Congratulations!!

We couldn't tell wether 'Guido' is really a boy or a girl. I have the feeling its a boy. Luckily everything appears normal, but we must see an Obstetrician to find out the sex. Our local hospital will not tell us.<BR/><BR/>Just wondering if you have had the experience of watching your belly jump and ripple yet? I am 20 weeks and just started to see my actual belly moving around!

That's just how boys are. :) Luckily, it sounds like you and I married the non-pizza box stacking, peeing out the back door kind. :)rockmamahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11069747273698110082noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-27522774.post-1160692845848882862006-10-12T22:40:00.000+00:002006-10-12T22:40:00.000+00:00The 5 boys I moved in with at age 19 stacked their...The 5 boys I moved in with at age 19 stacked their pizza boxes (floor to ceiling) in the bathroom, peed out the back door into the yard and sat on lawn chairs balanced on our roof's peek drinking beer. They were nice boys; Tree planters, Moutain bikers, DJs. You could tell they'd had mamas that tought them about keeping their boyparts safe. Although I was their age I was protective of them when girls with yukkyparts came over....I'm not sure what my point is here,I guess just that your post reminded me of those days. My husband and I often imagine the future lives of our future children and we wonder what kind of people they'll be, what experiences they'll have...it's a fun game to play.lisalouhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17076320705150651865noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-27522774.post-1160687608199024872006-10-12T21:13:00.000+00:002006-10-12T21:13:00.000+00:00I think the Prawn is totally messing with you.

I'm very pleased to hear everything is ok.<BR/><BR/>I think a lot of fetuses are contrary in the womb. For P's 27 week scan to determine her sex and wellbeing she had her head firmly implanted in my pelvis so her head could not be measured. She had her bajingo covered with her hand. I hope the Prawn is more cooperative next time around so you know if it is a girl Prawn or boy Prawn.MsPrufrockhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06533722219016814501noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-27522774.post-1160681280842249972006-10-12T19:28:00.000+00:002006-10-12T19:28:00.000+00:00Too bad about the gender-guessing, but the good ne...Too bad about the gender-guessing, but the good news is the Healthy Prawn!
